Chapter 870:
Felix no longer spared them a glance. His attention shifted to the mother and son, who were still clinging tightly to one another. The little boy hugged his reclaimed robot toy to his chest, his tear-streaked eyes shining with gratitude and a hint of admiration as they met Felix’s gaze.
Felix knelt to the boy’s level, slipped a small handful of roasted nuts into his pocket, and spoke with gentle warmth.
“Being poor doesn’t mean you are powerless, and being rich doesn’t give anyone the right to act without conscience. What you did today was brave and right.”
The boy’s voice trembled with emotion.
“Thank you, Mister… and Miss.”
Felix smiled faintly and brushed a hand through his hair.
“These roasted nuts are quite good.”
Then, turning to the weary yet resolute mother, he added,
“You’ve done a wonderful job raising your child.”
Tears streamed down the woman’s cheeks, her voice breaking as she whispered, “Thank you for defending my son.”
With everything finally settled, Felix and Rylie left the arcade with composed grace, their presence commanding the silent respect of everyone watching.
Behind them, the mother and her son held each other tightly, tears of relief flowing freely now that justice had been served at last. Meanwhile, the disgraced director and his wife were left to confront the complete collapse of both their professional standing and their family.
The pampered, deceitful chubby boy wept bitterly after receiving his punishment, left alone with his tears, with no one remaining to comfort him.
While Rylie and Felix were on their way back to the salon, a message arrived from the bodyguards.

Selah and Lucilla had already finished their haircuts. However, while waiting for Rylie and Felix to return, they overheard someone aggressively promoting health supplements. Convinced the elderly customers were being deceived, the two women insisted on following them to intervene.
The bodyguards tried to stop them but failed, leaving them no choice but to inform Rylie and Felix of the situation. By then, Selah and Lucilla were already causing a commotion inside the health supplement store.
Upon hearing the news, Rylie and Felix immediately headed toward the shop, which was tucked away in a quiet corner of the mall.
Even before they reached the entrance, Selah’s booming voice cut through the surrounding noise, blending with the chaos inside.
When they pushed the door open, they found Selah standing at the center of the store, drawing everyone’s attention. One hand clutched an open can of “special nutrition powder,” while the other rested firmly on her hip. She shot a fierce glare at the surrounding salespeople, whose expressions were anything but pleasant.
“This is nothing but astragalus root mixed with cornstarch!” Selah declared sharply. “And these vitamin tablets are the cheapest, most ordinary kind! How dare you sell something that costs less than twenty for eight thousand eight hundred? And you even claim it cures every illness? You should be ashamed of deceiving the elderly like this! Aren’t you afraid of retribution for your lies?”
